The secret word is "nakama"
1. During Cognitive Science class, the professor was talking about how we tend to associate and relate information with other things or words, to the point what we remember is altered by these relations and it's not trustworthy anymore.
So he gives as an example how eyewitnesses in legal trials sometimes give unintentional wrong testimonies in court, because they "remember" things that never really happened just by associations. They could see broken crystals in a car crash if they think the smash was strong enough, even though no windshields or mirrors were even broken in fact.
And I'm mentally all "DUUUUR! Suddenly Phoenix Wright games make more sense!"
Did you know that in the early 40's the judges and prosecutors took the eyewitnesses' testimonies as reliable facts, and thought that human memory worked like a recording tape? It wasn't until psychological experiments kicked in and proved otherwise that the legal system in the US and other countries didn't change to reflect this.
GOOD THING. DEFENSE ATTORNEYS WOULD BE SO SCREWED.
2. The bus' radio rickrolled me today O_o I'm not sure, however, if it was
a) The 70's-80's-90's station, and if it's that then it was just regular schedule
b) A really mean DJ who has been in the English-speaking side of the Internet and did it for the lulz
c) A really mean listener who has been in the English-speaking side of the Internet and requested Rick Astley for the lulz (not that people here know what that is)
It was probably option a, but still.
3. I'M EVEN MORE IN AWE FOR CHAPTER 82. Man, Arakawa, you reminded me why I loved that kid so much ♥ ♥ Now that I know what he told him, it makes so much sense and it's so much more awesome. asdgasghagsfhg

And I've been missing the Ling/Ed friendship thing sooooo much!
Considering I never hear Rick Astley on the radio over here that is pretty funny!

Inorite? I loved how Ed was unimpressed by the fact it was Ling. Now I really wish Lan Fan and Fu find Greedling soon, especially if it can comfort Greed's frustration a bit.
I think I HAVE heard the song in the 70's-80's-90's station before rickrolls were trendier, because I can't remember it from my childhood at all yet I did recognize the song.
